WEEK ONE: SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE
In the first week of the Lenten Campaign, we reflect on the Sovereignty of the people. We are reminded that the people are the source of all political power as set out in Article 1 of the Kenyan Constitution. The country’s leadership is called upon to protect the sovereignty of the people of Kenya by protecting and promoting political, civil, economic, social, and cultural rights. Holding a public office does not grant a leader the opportunity to enrich him/herself or trample on the rights of the people. Instead, it is an opportunity to serve and provide leadership to the people so they can co-exist peacefully and achieve their development aspirations.
